I asked some technical engineer in Munich and he said the same... maybe the US version is another one but that's hard to believe...
There is no technical need for having the Sport Package (cooler is the same!) - all Performance Packages was and will be available without a Sport Package needed (the Power Kit is one of the best selling packages and with the needings of the M sport package - BMW is enjoying all the money earning with the power kit *g*).

But this is only the German specification (same in UK) - where can we see the US specification (I only found some assumptions but no real specification originally publicated by BMW...)

Cheers
thanks that's all the clarity needed.

Has anyone with an E-body series done a back to back comparison of a PPK and Dinan tune on a 335i?

I suspect Dinan isn't as conservative, and PPK is more conservative...I saw a database on the E90post forum, and saw that the real numbers aren't as high as we expect for Dinan - the 100 tq is at the crank, not wheels.
